other words to permit the Republican party
to be bossed by the ST. JOHN faction. At
the same time they are conscious OF the
necessity for keeping that faction In the
Republican line. Something had to be done to
bring about a more harmonious condition of
affairs. The temperance element had to be
placated. Some sort of a compromise had
to be offered. Thus the high license eX-
pediency was adopted. The hope was to
induce the prohibition faction to accept a
half loaf when they saw that whole loaf
was not within reach. Another point they
relied on was to force the saloon element
solidly into the Democratic party and thus
arouse the prejudice of the ProhibitioniStS
against that party to such an extent that
they would wheel into line with the Re-
publicans to make common battle against
the Democracy. 1t was expected that by
these devices the Republicans would have
captured the entire Prohibition vote by
1883. But from present appearances the
scheme has been a disappointment. The
Republicans are succeeding we'll enough in
alternating the liberal vote from their party,
but they are not making much Roadway
III capturing the Pr0hlDltlOnlStS. ST. JOHN
continues to pour hot shot into the Re-
publican ranks and laughs the high license
dodge to scorn. Prohibitionists will not be
placated by any such measures. prohibit
tionists assert that they aim to strike at the
root of the liquor evil, and consequently
big license OF little one has nothing to do
with the case. They say, and truthfully. it
would be display of inconsistency that
would be absurd if a Prohibitionst assented
to tile doctrine that the sale of liquor was
legitimate or permissible even under high
license The result is that the Republicans
have made great big failure in attempting
to make high license political issue. and
the leaders will have ample time between
now and the presidential election to repent
their folly.

Chinese Empress's Proclamation.

Pekin Gaze tie.
A decree of her majesty the empress dow
ager: K'uei-pin, Prince Jul, and Others
have again respectfully asked US to adopt
an additional honorific title, in order to
confer dignity on the principle of govern
ing by means of tilial piety. We have OH
previous occasion negatiyed a petition made
by certain of our princes and ministers that
we should adopt an additional title. Sew
eral persons have now united to make re-
newal of the previous request.
The emperor has also implOred us, kneel-
ing to us and beseeching US again and
again. The real sincerity of his affection,
which finds expression in his spoken words,
is worthy of high praise. and is the cause
to us of great joy. But the performance of
a sons duty to his parents lies in deeds.
and not in fair words, 1t is like the virtue
of paying reverence to the Diety. At the
present time, when numerous and difficult
questions have to be dealt with, and fear
is felt by both high and low, in the retire
ment of the palace, anxious and earnest, we
labor without ceasing early and late.
Our one wish is that the emperor may
devote himself regularly and steadily to af-
fairs of state. Then all the land will enjoy
peace and prosperity, and prince and people
will rejoice together. Is there any way in
which filial duty could be better performed?
If the officers of the government, great and
small, will in like manner humbly initiate
their master in his cares and labors and for
getfulness of self, will strive against negli-
gence and do their utmost to advance re-
forms, then they will effect the perfection
of the administration in all its branches,
and they will make manifest the reality Of
their veneratiOn and severance, which quail
ties by no means consist in the offering of
titles OF honor and the employment of
empty expressions. We again desire that
the proposal to offer further honoritic
title be abandoned.

Mr.. Gladstone is marked, physically as
well as mentally, for great leader. He is
about five feet nine inches in height, but
looks taller. His build is muscular. and
but very short time ago he was able 10
take hand at telling tree with young
men. There was time when he was one
of the most skillful of horsemen. He is
still great pedestrian, and there scarcely
passes day that he is not to be seen walk
ing. He walks with his head thrown back.
and step firm and rapid. His countenance
is singularly beautiful. He has large dark
eyes that flash brilliantly, even at his age.
Deep set and with heavy eyelids, they
sometimes give the impression of the ewes
of hooded eagle. He has a large ex-
quistely chiseled nose. The mouth also is
finely modelled. The head is unusually
large. 1t was in early youth covered with
thick black hair. The brow is
lofty and broad and very expressive. The
face is white almost as wax, and gives the
face look of wonderful delicacY. The
face is the most expressive i'll the house of
commons. 1t reflects every emotion as
clearly and rapidly as summer lake its
summer sky. When Mr.. Gladstone is an
CRY his brow is clouded and his eyes shine.
When he is amused his face beams. When
he is contemplative his lips curl and:his head
is tossed. His air is joyous if things 60
well, and mournful when things go i'll:
though when the final trial comes, and he
stands convinced that he must meet abso-
lutte and resistless defeat, he looks out with
dignified tranquility. All the passions of
the human soul shine forth by his look and
gesture. His voice is powerful, and at the
same time can be soft, can rise IN menace
or sink in entreaty. He speaks with con-
siderable vehemence and gesticulates freely.

STREET. PAVING.

Street paving is the most difficult problem
III municipal affairs. How to get good.
substantial street pavements at reasonable
expense has been a problem from the time
the first American city was founded down
to the present day, and it is still an unsolved
problem. Experiment after experiment
has been made, and we are still expert
menting. In no direction have our Ameri-
can cities made so many fruitlesS expert
mentS or expended so much money to no
purpose as i'll the matter of street paving.
Boston expended S12. 600. 900 in twenty
years on its streets. and yet the last census
shows that of its 616 miles of streets less
than 70 miles were paved. Only 1 y miles
were paved with asphalt. with wood. 25
with cObblestone and 81 with trap block
The other 54S miles were filled with
gravel OF broken stone. In Philadel-
phia. with its 1000 miles of Streets only
two miles were paved with asphalt. l
with wood. Al with stone blocks and $50
with ruble stone. These two instances
illustrate how little progress has been made
i'll the oldest and wealthest cities of the
union, and may have tendency to recon-
Gle 81. L dul people 10 the cOndltlOn OF our
streets. So far as experiments have been
made asphalt and Belgian block have given
the most satisfaction but even they are yet
in an experimental stage. But If they
prove of permanent value the expense of
these materials would put it beyond the
power of most American cities to use them
to cover the immense extent of streets
needing pavement An estimate made nv
the Philadelphia authorities shows that it
would cost the Quaker City 500, 900, 900 to
pave its streets with asphalt.

THE COERCION ACT.

Scotland, Wales and the Democracy of
England urge the just demand of Ireland
for home rule. The retrogressve Tories,
representing landlord influence, offer Ire
land only a coercion act, brutal in its con-
ception and crushing in its measures-a
bill exasperating to an unhappy people and
insulting to lrishmen throughout the world.
A leading Liberal organ i'll England, the
Pail Mall Gazette, asks if such codified
cruelty can be seriously meant for white
skinned people, and declares that the pas.
sage of the bill would justify open HeYolt.1
Exactly. Revolt by an unarmed mob lis
being deliberately fomented by the Tories.
A union established by force must
be sustained by the sword drawn
under the pretext of quelling rebellion.
Unjust taxes and exorbitant rentals must
be collected by military law and crimes
must be multiplied that tyranny may have
a pretext. Agitation is declared illegal
that it may be wiped out in the blood of
the agitators.
Truly the crisis for Ireland is trying
one. The sympathy of the world is with
her in her long-sustained struggle for ma
tional existence. We have confidence in
the wisdom of the Irish leaders and hope
that Irishmen in this country will not mar
but actively, unitediy aid GLADSTONE
and PARNELL in their efforts to defeat the
mongrel government of coercion. Both the
National and the Liberal leaders have APP
pealed to America Tor sympathy and sup
port Our sympathy flows freely to liberty
struggling against oppression.
